Chart notes

NACHO PROBLEM established the front and showed the way in hand three then two wide patiently handled until roused taking the inside route into upper stretch, inched away under a drive to inside the eighth pole, dug in holding well and safe to the finish kept to task. DEVILISH GRIN chased three then two wide coming under coaxing at the three-eighths marker, spun just off the inside into upper stretch, offered up a mild kick. GREAT ACTRESS three then two wide in pursuit, came under encouragement at the five-sixteenths, spun just off the inside into upper stretch, ran on to secure the show honors. I REST MY CASE struck the near side stall at the start conceding three to four lengths to the front before settling into stride, chased four then three wide coming under coaxing three furlongs from home, continued three to four wide into upper stretch, kept on to the finish. NESHIKA chased along the inside under a ride from the five-sixteenths, cut the corner into upper stretch, weakened. KNOWLEDGE IS GOOD struck the near side stall at the start conceding five to six lengths to the front before settling into stride, chased just off the inside under urging from three furlongs out, angled four wide for home, made no impact. VIVIENNA chased three then two wide under urging from the three-eighths pole, cornered just off the inside into upper stretch, made no impact. RUDY UP forwardly placed along the inside, came under a protective hold near the half mile pole and was expertly guided back and to the outside, then got eased up before being pulled up just past the three-eighths marker, got attended to and vetted, then walked to near the three-sixteenths pole and off to the main track and was transported from the course via the equine ambulance.
